The Velvet Underground Appreciation Society has a new site!

Dennis I would recommend Olivier's 'VU Web Page' 1st and foremost. It is the online authority on the VU and worth a look.

May I also recommend my Yahoo discussion group on "archive recordings"? It's the largest VU group on Yahoo! The www button at the bottom of this message is a direct link to the site. If not, PM and I'll send you the URL.

a bit of one-upmanship there, Sean?

Hi Dennis!

The www button at the bottom of this message is a direct link to the site.

JJ, no need to mention the www-button, only dimwits like me do not notice it

Anyway, Dennis: how's about the old-fashioned hyperlink in my sig? Foggy Notion (hardly an original name, any ideas for something better?)!

[arjan]

So, would the person responsible for the Foggy Notion website contact me so that we can exchange links?

Speaking.

I'd be happy to include a link to your web site. Feel free to link to mine if you think it's any good. The link is in my sig below.

Speaking of my web site, I'm thinking of a major overhaul (dynamically changing content of an IFRAME using scripts perhaps wasn't such a good idea after all).

I'm building the new website for the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society

You're building a nice site. I should note however, regarding your bios of the band and the band members, that the information you (or one of your contributors) copied from Wikipedia is not in the public domain -- it's on a GFDL licence.

In short, this means you're free to use the text but are required to give credit. See the Wikipedia page on copyright on how to do so. I noticed because I am a Wikipedia power editor and I worked (to varying extent) on all articles concerned.

Simon, hello, and don't worry about Sean's "one-upmanship." After SIX years, and defending thousands of fans against hackers and worse, IF he's still around, he can talk.

Guilty as charged!

Yes, I was plugging the group but only so you & VUAS can add it the list of resources you have. It's a non-profit, non-copyright trader's site and the disclaimer is very clear to all naughty people out there!

Thanks for the compliment!

Probably not... I use XHTML / CSS and code manually in Notepad. OK, I'm a Masochist.

Me too, it's just that my architectural/spaghetti design lobe takes over and fancies DHTML-like page modifications to the detriment of maintainability.
